"Workroom" has become a loose term around here, as I lost my very own space in our move. There are now at least 4 different areas housing art and craft supplies strewn around the house. It works much better this way though, as I can easily access a work-in-progress in whatever part of the house I'm in at the time! Our bedroom has a lovely sunny corner that houses my sewing table, just awaiting a three-prong outlet so I can set up my machine (we'll see when that happens!). Until then, I'm knitting furiously, and quickly pull out my sewing machine during naptimes. Some baby kimonos are in process, a *secret* project, and that big pile of fabric destined for maternity and post-partum wear. Very exciting!
Does anyone have experience sewing maternity clothes? I purchased a Japanese dress book (which I hope to share soon) with maternity wear, and it has some great patterns. The Joann Fabrics-type stores have about one maternity pattern per book, so I'm out of luck there. Any other good resources you have to share?
Are you familiar with ottobre? Their women's spring/summer 2008 issue has some great maternity clothes patterns. I'd be more than happy to send you my copy to use the patterns. On a side note, I am thinking about buying a swift, do you like yours? Is there much of a difference between swifts? Any advice?
